Paul writes to the Christians in the Corinthian Church, and it is still speaking to us today. When the Spirit moves into our lives when we accept Christ, that sin has to move out. We are to live as the temple of the Holy Spirit. We have a new landlord: the Holy Spirit.
In 1 Corinthians 6:14, it clearly writes to the followers of Jesus and says, “Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light partner with darkness?”
We are not on the same team with everyone as a follower of Christ! We need to love everyone no matter what their spiritual condition is. We need to minister to everyone because the Lord is not willing that any should perish. We are to reach the city and touch the world for Jesus. We are missionaries reaching people who are lost and have not come to the knowledge of Jesus.
But that does not mean we can be on the same team with everyone. We need to realize that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are to be connected with Jesus! We are to live a spiritual life in this world, because of the Presence, Power, and Provision of the Holy Spirit that lives within us.
Lord, help me to live a Supernatural Life because of Your presence and not just live in the Natural! “It is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.
Lord, I choose to be on Your team! I am thankful that you want me to be on Your team!
